Thann's End,
Radiant Sun Church's Branch,
"Your Holiness!" An apprentice dashes into the prayer room. His face was filled with anxiety as he approaches an elderly priest.
The latter was praying to a statue of an old man, carved out of gold. it had a lamp on one hand and a sword on the other, staring out of the massive windows as the sun shined on it.
Despite the disturbance from the apprentice, the old priest made no move to acknowledge his presence, he prayed wholeheartedly to the gold statue.
After a full fifteen minutes, he moved away from his position. "He killed Another?".
"Y..yes" the young apprentice says with a shudder as cold sweat rolled down his body. 'That's the eight one!!!' he thought fearfully.
After his answer, there was silence before the old priest glanced at him, "you may leave"
"yes..."the apprentice retreated with backward steps before bowing again, only then did he leave.
The elderly priest then left with hurried steps before reaching the back garden.
"Bishop Rodney, Anthony is really a problem..." the elderly priest says aggrieved, only for him to be cut off by the man seated amongst flowers.
"Relax Bast...those are simply traitors"
But his words only further agitated the man. "your Holiness, surely all twenty three of them aren't as he says... that's the total amount of people Anthony Vance has killed both openly and secretly since his arrival!".
"Oh?... that many?!" Bishop Rodney says casually as he plucked the unsuspecting flower, from the other side of the garden another person made his presence known.
"Anthony..." Bast says in a flat tone and Anthony does the same with great indifference, "Bast...".
Rodney was amused and then asked, "are his words true?"
"My dear Bishop, those were all traitors that had been bought by the nobles of Thann's end and beyond, unfortunately, there has been no clues on the purple haired woman, so I'll unfortunately have to continue my investigation" the young priest in purple robes says lazily before adding, "Soul searching is also troublesome...hmmm".
"You!!" Bast found Anthony's lazy tone, irritating.
"Enough!" Rodney cuts the both of them off, "Anthony, that should be enough for the inside work...start with the outside investigation and find me that night mother's champion, you have just this week!".
"..."
Seeing him silent, Rodney asked "Am I clear?!".
Noticing how serious Rodney was, he said, "Crystal, your Holiness!".
"Good... now leave my presence"
Blackmoon Town,
Torug's POV,
After making arrangements, everyone set out to complete the process while I chose to examine my system notifications but found nothing.
"Strange" I muttered with the same unfamiliar voice, it was entirely different from what I was beginning to get used to. The strange thing about the whole thing is that the system only shows [Updating...], but I can already feel the changes.
Using the creature in the lake, changed my entire constitution and body structure. It increased my defense and added a few extra features to my body, without any other actions from me, Mana has been flowing into my body at a steady pace. Using my cultivation method, I noticed that it was about three times faster than normal and I can now store more Mana within my body.
Gills, retractable Bone spurs andclaws on my spine and limbs. the amount of body activity has increased as well as my Increase in height. My number of slots for my champion spells increased from 3 to 4.
"Unbelievable, all this from a sigil"
From the look of things, I need to do some more research on the creatures of this world before using my final sigil, 'I remember there were other powerful creatures but I have to experiment further about my sigils for now'.
With that in mind, I stepped out for the usual bonfire dinner only to find Alpha dashing towards me.
seeing his actions left my mouth twitching, 'how can your face be this expressive?!!'.
At some point, I lifted my hand and took a sniff from my armpits,
"..."
"..."
"Fine, I'll go bath now" I finally say grudgingly, I am really stinky, how did the others stand the smell!?, especially Urim... now that I think of it, he did look stiff...
'sigh... respect to you brother, tsk tsk tsk'.
Alpha looks at me with a "Just go" expression before sneezing.
'tch...damn dog face, how can you treat your owner like this' I glare at alpha while thinking before a devilish idea came to mind.
'With my new specs, I should be able to breathe underwater...maybe I can take that thing?'.
'I'll experiment further with Vass'.
I had Haji prepare some water for me to bath but found the same muscular orc woman and a few others, carrying a makeshift bucket made with strange leaves and pouring water into the bamboo bathtub made by the system.
while relaxing in the tub, I somehow fell asleep and found myself deep underwater. everywhere around me remained pitch black, so I chose to remain unmoving until a minute later, two gainomous snake like eyes opened in front of me.
It stared down at me for a long time, exuding great pressure from it's body but remained motionless.
a pale blue fluorescent pupil scanned across my body silently before everything went dark once more, only for me to wake up in the tub.
Regaining my senses, I found myself sweating even though I was in water.
"Scary..."I muttered silently before processing what just happened, after thinking repeatedly, my eyes silently looked towards my dragon tattoo.
'Why isn't there any movement from the dragon side then?'.
"What was that?" a sultry voice came from the side, only for me to turn and find a stranger.
"Ayaseh" I say after releasing my breath, unperturbed about her seeing me n.a.k.e.d, after all there's nothing to be ashamed of in this body, also who knows how much she has seen without my knowledge.
She smiles for a second and walked towards me with a curious gaze, "You're indeed healing at a faster rate than I thought but why do you have the scent of a dead God on you?".
"..." Stunned, I began to wonder if the creature was a God but her next words cancelled that notion.
"Ah yes, I remember now... it's the scent of that stubborn orc, what was he again? God of the wild or something?...hmm..." she lightly tapped into the bamboo surface while in thought.
I then decided to test her, I stood up while bringing the up Ravrok's God seed.
"do you mean this?" I asked while looking at her face, she was surprised, then happy as she said, "why haven't you absorbed it?! it would help Hasting your healing while taking control of that world law..."
She began to talk on and on about how it was good for me but the system advised otherwise, I need to evolve to at least the level of a demigod before attempting that, but she didn't know this rule, maybe because she was born differently I suppose.
As she spoke, she set up a barrier around the manor to block the God seed's aura.
Suddenly, she paused while saying, "wait... that's not right, hmm do I go and ask Goltan?".
But then her face changed with the sound of lightning coming from outside, before I could even look back at her she was gone.
I quickly put on my battle skirt and hurried outside to confirm my fears.
There it was, Rain, not of water but of blood instead.
"Another God has fallen" I said solemnly.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
